1. I like offirrah on sweet custard. Offirrah is a delicious spicy condiment of fermented snakes and chili peppers and garlic. Nobody but Cani and I like it. Even Cani don't eat it on sweet custard.
2. I'm feathered. Zi Ri mostly don't have feathers.
3. I have never dated a member of the same species.
4. I rather like when people cast temporary color-changing spells on me. Not that anyone ever does, except Ilottat once in a while.
5. I hate wearing metal jewelry. What if I lose it? What if someone mugs me and takes it? What if it somehow violates a sumptuary law that I didn't remember about? Aieee!
6. I don't like perfumed milk. Never have. And that's not a reptile thing. I like regular milk just fine, or spiced milk, or perfumed water.
7. I can recite the whole Ode to Shemgroth the Magnificent forwards and backwards.

And I tag -- esory, calamitous_cani, zhaleskra, denaist, snow_orren, thestra (via jareth_atian), and floosh (via beetiger).  'cause you're real, and I'm not quite sure about anyone else.

Unasked for, but this entertained me enough that I thought I would do it was well:

1. I have never dated a member of the same species either.
2. I only have one horn, not the usual two for what I'm told is my apparent species.
3. I happen to consider blue feathered Zi Ri quite cute.
4. While the people around me might have told a fib or two, I can't recall ever lying even once. That's truly remarkable, I think.
5. My favorite things ever are flowers. I have gone to great and costly lengths to acquire particularly exotic ones.
6. My most precious possession, however, is a finely handicrafted bone comb--it has many fond memories of how I persuaded a noble that he would, rightly of course, be best off by giving his possessions to me including the comb. He was so happy to pass on the burden of his estate to his newly adopted daughter who ran it wisely and prudently until unscrupulous meddlers drove her out of it. Me being that adopted daughter, of course. When I hold that comb, I remember his smile of relief once his possessions were mine.
7. I am an orren who's been turned into a bonstable by mighty and potent magic. As such, I'm frequently misunderstood by primes who believe they have found the 'truth' about me.

(OOC: Hehe. I had an evil amount of fun writing this. And bonstable really would be the closest World Tree translation of one of my Puzzlebox characters.)
